An illustration of two stellar-mass black holes merging in the accretion disk of an active galactic nucleus. (Shu-Rui Zhang) ...
The research could shed light on how black holes vomit out matter and how this influences their home galaxies.
They discovered that the host galaxy is incredibly massive — weighing in at over 40 billion times the mass of our Sun — and deeply obscured. The James Webb Space Telescope, which can peer through gas ...
A neutron star and black hole (GW200105) were detected merging along an unusual oval orbit, challenging theories about how ...
Black holes are often seen as silent destroyers—but new observations reveal violent outbursts that release unimaginable energy. These rare cosmic events challenge our understanding of physics and ...
Like tiny photobombers, cosmic anomalies resembling small, bright red points show up in almost every snapshot taken by the most powerful space telescope ever made. Astronomers now call ...
T he first time I heard about galaxies without dark matter, I was sitting in my very first graduate class at the University of São Paulo. It was 2018, and the discovery had just ...
Black acid rain formed after oil depot fires in Tehran may expose millions to acidic aerosols, soot, and toxic pollutants linked to respiratory and cardiovascular risks.
A newly analyzed gravitational-wave event has revealed something unexpected about one of the Universe’s most violent encounters. Scientists have found the first strong evidence that a black hole and a ...
A neutron star and black hole were detected merging along an unusual oval orbit, challenging long-held theories about how these systems form.
Astronomers have identified the first clear evidence of a magnetar forming during a superluminous supernova, offering new insight into some of the brightest explosions in the universe.
Gamma-ray bursts are the most violent explosions in the universe. In a fraction of a second, they can release more energy than the sun will emit across its entire 10-billion-year lifetime. Most are ...
